Where Wendy is paranoid and Irene is so done

Irene’s eyebrows furrowed as she pulled an earphone off her left ear when she heard a loud banging outside her window. Followed by some yelling and shouting from a fellow neighbor, a voice that she recognize a little too well.

“DON’T YOU KNOW WE HAVE A PANDEMIC GOING ON?!”

Oh god it’s the same person again

Irene sighed and stood up, walking towards her window and stared outside where she saw her neighbor slash friend, Wendy who was currently screaming her hearts out at another fellow—old—neighbor who lived down the streets. It was the same old lady who does her routine of morning walk

“What a rude lady you are! Very disrespectful!” the lady replied

“I AM HALF CANADIAN, I AM KIND. HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF THE STEREORYPE? IF WE STEP ON A MAPLE LEAF WE SAY SORRY TO IT”

And yet here she is, yelling at an old lady.

But for a good cause

“Wendy, what on earth are you doing?”

Irene spoke from her window, her house stood exactly across Wendy and faced right in front of Wendy’s room

“This old hag is not wearing a mask!” Wendy pointed at the lady

“Who are you calling me a hag???!!!” the old lady screamed back

“Don’t you know me?! Don’t you know Red Velvet?! I AM KOREAN SINGER”

Dear god breaking this fourth wall again. She is just a regular Korean Canadian lady here.

“The ing audacity” Wendy scoffed as she runs her fingers through her hair

“You are just a rude girl who does not respect the elderly! It’s my right to not wear a mask. This is a free country!!” the old lady said

“WE PAY TAXES YOU DUMB OLD HAG IT’S DEFINITELY NOT FREE. AND YOUR HEALTHCARE WON’T BE FREE TOO IF YOU GO AROUND—YOU KNOW WHAT I HOPE YOU GET THE ING VIRUS”

Irene saw the entire scene unfolds as the old lady continue screaming at Wendy and saying how disrespectful she is before running off to where her house is with Wendy barking out profanities on each step the old lady took

Jesus Christ, talk about being kind

“Wendy, why are you even barking at….8 in the morning?” Irene sighed

Wendy paused for a moment to catch her breath and faced Irene

“I was just having my moment, getting fresh morning air, taking in vitamin D, enjoying my view until that wrinkly selfish old lady ruins it. She was going around not wearing a mask of course I’d be pissed!” Wendy said

“You’re at home it doesn’t even get to you” Irene rolled her eyes

“WELL IT CONCERNS EVERYBODY DOWN THERE. Not when she’s breathing like a dying donkey. I swear to god if I catch her on the streets again not wearing a mask, I’ll shoot her with a water gun”

“You’re not wearing a mask either” Irene snickered

“Because I am still within my property and in the comfort of my own room. It’s safe to scream from roo—YOU, THE ONE WHO’S WATERING FLOWERS WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUTSIDE PUT ON A ING MASK”

Irene tip toed and stared at the house right next to her, where she saw a man who was just standing at the patio, not even close to the roadside nor he was in any contact with another random human being.

“WENDY STOP SCREAMING YOU ARE WAKING UP THE WHOLE DAMN NEIGHBOURHOOD” Irene exclaimed

“YOU ARE YELLING TOO”

“I AM TRYING TO STOP YOU”

“WELL THEN YOU CAN STOP NOW”

Irene huffed and raised her hands in surrender before walking back to her bed where just noticed that her playlist was still running. Her poor battery life. If only she didn’t spend that much time trying to zip her friend up maybe her phone won’t stay at 15% now.

She plugged her charger in when she heard Wendy barking again. But this time she was barking out her name

“Dear god Wendy, what is it now?” Irene said in annoyance

“So… I just noticed I’m running out of groceries”

“Okay, and?”

“Well we have a prob—“

“Hold up, let me check mine”

Irene said and went to check her supplies in the kitchen, on which she realized that she too was running out of food and any other necessary supplies. She went back to the window to talk to Wendy. Honestly why can’t they just text?

“So um, mine is running out too” Irene said

“Okay, and?” Wendy mocked

“Rude” Irene rolled her eyes “Wanna go grab it together?” she continued

“………virus. No” Wendy replied

“Fine die alone then”
